Increase Your Happiness Today

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Thoughts, Writing/ 9 Comments/ 417

I have been caught up in a whirlwind of activity lately.  Getting my mom through her hip replacement and a move to assisted living took more of a toll than I would like to admit.  I am not as young as I once was apparently. Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books/ 14 Comments/ 557

I received an advance readers copy of Slightly South of Simple for review purposes. All opinions are 100% my own. One of the best things about being a blogger is being able to meet really great people.  I have been blessed to “meet” a lot Continue reading →

My sister and brother in law visited us this past week and one must see for them was The Biltmore in Asheville.  Chris and I were happy to oblige and as they toured the house we walked around the estate a little bit and enjoyed Continue reading →

Life is Too Short

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 18 Comments/ 487

Life is too short. Life is too short to not take the time to do something fun every single day. Life is too short to not use the good dishes or eat in the dining room. Life is too short to not wear the expensive Continue reading →

Teapot Tuesday Is a Little Bit Nutty

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 14 Comments/ 470

I feel like I need a mouse teapot after all of our mouse adventures last week at my mom’s old apartment.  Let me tell you it was not a pretty sight.  As a matter of fact it was downright grisly at times but we made Continue reading →
